Hello everyone,
Things are still going good here. Transfers are tomorrow. We heard a bit ago, I'm staying put and Elder Hedrick is going to Prescott Valley. My new companion is Elder Bradshaw, who I've been on exchanges with before. Things are a tad screwy in the mission because Elder Oaks just took over the Missionary Department and he's apparently changing a bunch of stuff.

On to the week!
On Tuesday, I was on Exchanges with Elder Phipps. He's a super funny new missionary who seems to love being out here. We went and chopped out weeds at Sister Roth's house, then taught Tom the Plan of Salvation, and taught Sean the Word of Wisdom. It was a pretty solid day!
Wednesday was fairly uneventful, but we did get the Ferrins and the Reynolds committed to do the 21 Day Promise!
On Thursday, I went with Elder Bradshaw to their area, the Stoneridge and Dewey wards. We did a bunch of contacting, and I met a member who's a Flake! She even said she knows Grandma Richardson!
Friday, we had District Meeting and then got to go to the Prongers for dinner! It's been like 2 mo this since they've had us over! We shared the "Because of Him" Easter video and had a good chat.
Saturday was our third exchange for the week. I was with Elder Phipps, but he started having crazy back pain so he went back with his companion about 10 am. Then I was with Elder Rosenbaum. We went with the YSA Elders to work out at a members farm. I staked down the chicken coop while Elders Dill and Ingham dug a big trench in the mud to lay pipe in. Later, we had dinner with Sister Wellington, and ended up chatting for far too long. :P
Sunday was really good. We had a really good ward council, because they are starting to learn how to help in missionary work. Other than church, not a whole lot happened.
Yesterday, we went on overdrive and got a whole bunch of people signed up for our 21 day promise initiative. We got four more families all set to go.
Well, that's about it. I'm doing good, and will keep working hard.
Keep Hauling That Water,
Elder Joseph Richardson
